France isn't typically known for its heavy tanks, but the premium B1 ter has undoubtedly made a name for itself. It absolutely wrecked low tier ground realistic before Gaijin finally moved it to a battle rating of 2.7, but it's still an incredibly powerful machine in the right hands. It's one of the best heavies in War Thunder, in my opinion.

The B1 Ter is the perfect case of premiums being overpowered compared to tech tree variants. While the B1 Bis can be frontally penned by just about everything it sees out to around 1000m and not be able to do the same back, the Ter requires you to get close into it's effective gun range to pen it in the same spots. With being effectively the exact same tank, and at least back when I played it was at the exact same BR as the Bis. At least it's been slightly moved up since.

France used to have to most OP line-up ever in the game. B1bis+B1ter+LVT4-40 but then the LVT4-40 with its Bofors went up in BR. But I tell you, that line-up was the most fun I ever had in this game. Guilty fun but fun nonetheless. B1ter and b1bis had your back in close quarters maps basically being unkillable. The LVT4-40 was hands down the best light tank at its tier and better at anti-air than actual anti-air vehicles with its 40Bofors and two M2 Brownings. I used to get 13-15 kills on a regular basis in realistic with that line-up. Sealclubbing.

One of my proudest kills.

I absolutely love the B1 Ter. If you angle it right, it just ignores the heat round of the other “heavy” tank at its tier, the M4A3 105. It also ignores other heat rounds when angled along with all conventional rounds. From the front it’s decent, but most rounds can pen the slightly angled plate.

At the battle of Stonne at the beginning of World War II, the city was regularly taken and retaken several times between France and Germany. During one of the French offensive, a B1 tank alone destroyed around 12 German panzers , 2 anti-tank guns, and continued the fight. Dozens of hits were recorded on the B1 but none penetrated. The Germans then retook the city, and in the next offensive, a second B1 tank arrived in the city, ended up with one of its long tracks on its side along a trench, and continued to advance with the Germans trapped in that trench. It was nicknamed the Butcher of Stonne.

Oddbawz said it perfectly. The B1 is a total bully, but if it gets uptiered or faces someone who knows what they're doing it's bad. Protip: just shoot the side / rear of the turret. Basically every standard low-tier gun can pen it at close range, and you can probably outmaneuver the B1, so you just pop off the gunner until there's no crew left

The reload and shell velocity mean you can very easilly go for tracks and barrels, and from there all the tanks you mentioned can be killed from the front. The Churchill I is superb when it comes to using your armour as a weapon. Vehicles like the KV-1 will struggle severely to pen you, which means you're much more flexible than they are with your faster cannon, from there you can manouver and kill thier turret from any angle and their hull from the front or sides.
